Portland Audubon’s Sternwheeler Tour Around Ross Island

The Audubon Society of Portland is once again offering its popular RiverFest Ross Island Tour on-board the Sternwheeler Rose.

Saturday, Aug 22, 2009
6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

If you don’t paddle, canoe or kayak, there’s no better way for you and your family to get out on the river and see great blue herons, osprey and bald eagles nests–not to mention some of Portland ‘s most beautiful scenery–on this relaxing evening cruise.

Mike Houck from the Urban Greenspaces Institute and staff from Audubon Society of Portland will provide expert commentary and answer questions on the remarkable variety of natural sights and sounds, as you travel in comfort up through the Holgate Channel and circumnavigate Ross, Hardtack, and East Islands .
